After a long time, the driver seemed to be immersed in his musical world, and continued to hum some minor tunes with different rhythms in their local dialect. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this way, the car bumped all the way and drove through countless streets, and finally stopped in front of a large complex of buildings.

It's a complex, but from the black smoke that spews from inside, the incessant roar of machinery, the guards standing outside the outer walls, and even some of the heavy weapons Burke sees—including Empire-made laser rifles, automatic cannons, hot melt bombs, and even Federation engineering lasers and an old railgun—it seems to be closer to a combination of a fortress complex and a giant factory.

It's hard to believe that such a heavily protected fortress, though it may seem unusually rudimentary, could belong to a nesting family.

But it also made Burke even more sure that this was the place he was looking for.

This is the territory of Zeroth.

"Okay, okay, it's time to get in the place, let's get off." The driver happily braked, turned over and jumped out of the car, and walked to the factory gate: "Come on, the patriarch should be on the side of the main control room now." ”

The three of them walked into the entrance, and the guards on the road saw the lead driver and nodded and waved to let them go.

The interior of the complex is not much off line with Burke's initial suspicions, with workers coming and going on the assembly line, huge steelmaking furnaces dissolving metal waste before it is recast, and on another line, workers assembling what appears to be automatic rifles.

"You're really involved in the arms business?"

"Just protect yourself." The driver said, "After all, there is no point in talking about something, is it?" ”

Burke didn't ask such meaningless and boring questions, but continued to walk forward, this complex contains a whole set of industrial systems, and this, as can be seen from these assembly lines, from recycling to fine processing, the Zelos family has a complete and independent system in operation, with a considerable degree of independent military production capacity.

But then, Burke suddenly saw a group of people dressed very differently from the workers around him.

It was a group of guards wearing Imperial Armor, although they still wore their iconic hoods, but the unique silhouette of their black Armor still held up the cover of their hoods, and they carried either huge batteries or similar fuel canisters behind their backs, and the hell guns, heavy flamethrowers, plasma rifles, and hot melt guns in their hands were like the configuration of the Imperial Storm Commando, and the man in the middle of the group was particularly abrupt.

How so...... She was a very attractive woman, and if you ignore her heavy set of special armor, and her hot melt pistol and power sword.

"Wait." The driver suddenly said: "It seems that we are very lucky, the patriarch just happened to be inspecting the factory, come with me, we can meet her directly." ”

Then the driver strode forward, but just then, the patriarch also saw Burke, and then she also walked with her head down.

"Patriarch, I brought people over, look ......"

"Ahhhh The patriarch spoke, and it was indeed quite crisp, but now there was some imperceptible anxiety: "Thank you, Hancock, go and rest, I'll take care of the guests." ”

"Okay." The driver glanced back at Burke suspiciously, then turned to leave: "Then something please."

Call me, Patriarch, I'm always on standby. ”

Burke didn't have time to say hello to the driver who had brought him and Wright all the way, for he was now plagued by new troubles.

"Mr. Burke, it's been a long time!" The heavily armed Celos patriarch greeted Burke with a smile, then looked around Burke before making a startling move.

She jumped to her feet, drawing the power sword at her waist and slashing at the shocked gazes of those around her.

But Burke slid forward as if he had expected it, dodging the power sword that the Patriarch of Zelos swung forward.

"It's Misha...... Won't you learn to behave? ”

"I'm sorry, that can't be done, Mr. Burke, but it seems that you haven't regressed at all, Che, come with me." Zeroth's. A dissatisfied expression appeared on his face, and then he turned around and led the way: "Although you are my benefactor...... But I can't see you calmly. ”

Then, he turned his head to the guards who were nervous and raised their weapons, and the workers who had stopped unconsciously, and shouted, "It's nothing, I know this person, it's just a joke, okay, get on with your work." ”

Then, she turned her head to look at Burke: "Let's go to the general control room, it just so happens that we have had a lot of trouble recently, and I can't say how much I can help." ”

"It's okay, I've been prepared for this." Burke shrugged his shoulders and replied truthfully.

"Brother...... "That's Mr. Burke...... Why did you cut him just now? ”

After a while, the shadow continued, "Well, brother, I don't think it's Mr. Burke's fault, after all, he saved me, and I also volunteered for the operation......"

"Okay, okay, brother, I know, I'll be in the main control room right away." The shadow flickered twice, and so it responded.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine, but it's better to let the guards avoid it first."

Eventually, the shadow faded away, and a hooded figure appeared in the secret passage on the other side of the wall, and no one noticed the disappearance of the small shadow, just as no one noticed her appearance.

If you look closely, you will find an interesting thing, this girl, long, and the patriarch of Zeloth, are exactly the same.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Misha."

The girl laughed, "Well, I, Misha, am also the other side of the Patriarch of Zeroth!" ”

The girl said this, her brown hair glowing in the artificial cold light, and the most surprising thing was the glint in the depths of her eyes: "I am now, but I am completely different from then." The Federation saved us from disaster, from despair -- and taught us how to live as human beings.

Because of this, for the sake of the Federation, we can give everything, as long as that tragedy is not repeated. ”

"I beg you to let this extinguished galaxy return to light."
